Weekly photo challenge: zigzag and a freak

The quickest way between two points might be a straight line, but it’s rarely the most interesting one. From strolling around a new city to browsing the shelves at a neighbourhood book store, it’s so often the unexpected turns that give meaning to our journeys.

This week, share a photo that foregoes the straightforward in favor of the twisting and winding.

I went to the Southbank last weekend for my sons 11th birthday. I had the zigzag in mind. As I was intended to take photos I kept thinking what on earth am I going to get that is semi interesting or available to shoot today.

So I came up with what I call a few ‘standard photos’and if you stay long enough and scroll to the bottom you will see my ‘piece de resistance’.

The bottom one does have a little shock factor, be warned, it has the ‘twist’ on the take which is more ‘me’ in subject matter, as in it tickled me, or amused me, what do you think?

My twisted or ‘piece de resistance’ photo

Just to give a background to this photo, as mentioned we went to the Southbank, there we saw advertised a ‘Freak Show’as they call themselves.

I have plenty more photos of the ‘others’however, this man who was the main man, called ‘Lizard Man’ came up with what I thought a very unusual route from nose to mouth. He is called the ‘Lizard Man’ because he has I think its 90% of his body covered in lizard like tattoos, he has had his teeth shaved to points, he has body modification knots on his eyebrows and his tongue is forked of which he can use quite athletically LOL.

I will admit the photo is not my best quality, my excuse being that I was standing in the theatre, literally at the front. The shock factor did make me “oooh” and “aaah” surprisingly more than anticipated, hence a little camera wobble as I tried to take pics hehe!

Great photo’s really all of them including lizard man. I find it fascinating how people disfigure themselves to take on a totally different appearance, people that try to look like animals I find particularly interesting.

Comment & re-blogging etiquette

I tend to delete self-promoting URL's from comments unless it is part of a challenge I am hosting & therefore necessary. Re re-blogging, I am always chuffed to have a re-blog but if you don't know me, please say 'hello' first & establish a rapport please.

Children Love Crystals Too! I am so thrilled to say that I have some very discerning young clients, when I say young, I mean under 10.

Let’s Find Our Inner Healer This Friday 2nd March we have the worm moon, or simply the Full Moon in Virgo. Why is it called the Worm Moon? At the time of this spring Moon, the ground begins to soften and earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of robins. This is also known as the Sap […]

Hummingbird, Find The Beauty In Each Day This mala has really been a long time coming, yet it wasn’t ready when I first got her, first she had to find her Spirit Guardian, then when that was done, she had to wait, to make sure, really sure that she would call in to play the […]

What Is Your Spirit Animal? I had been waiting for ages with excitement for this wolf spirit mala to call itself to be made. It has a whole team of crystals supporting it, such as magnesite, fancy jasper, labradorite, electroplated crystal, electroplated hematite and a little feather charm around the back. It was certainly worth […]
